A17218	Looke from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proued out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnall gospellers: and that the faith which they professe, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith. Herein hast thou also a short summe of the whole Bible, and a plaine manifestation, that all holy men who have pleased God, have beene saved through this Christian faith alone.; Alte Glaube.

also all figures sacrifices and ceremonies doe cease For in Christ is all perfection Yet shall we not therefore cast away the old Testament as some ignorant unlearned and foolish people doe but have it in greater reputation for as much as wee know now through Christ what every thing signifieth and wherefore every thing was thus and thus ordained used and spoken Now shall every man first have a courage to reade the Law and the Prophets when he seeth whereupon every thing goeth And thus also at the beginning did the holy Apostles preach Christ unto the Iewes out of the Law and the Prophets as it is oftentimes mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles And our Lord himselfe when hee went with the two Disciples toward Emaus and preached so unto them that their hearts burnt within them he began at Moses and went thorow all the Prophets and opened unto them the old Scriptures and shewed them that so it behoved Christ to suffer and to enter into his glory This is the cause also that the Scriptures of the New Testament hang altogether and referre themselves to the Scriptures of the old Testament so that these cannot be rightly understood without the other no more than the glosse without the text The text is the Law and the Prophets the exposition are the Euangelists and the Apostles Now will wee see what the worke of grace of the new Testament is In the two and fortieth yeere of the Empire of Augustus after the beginning of the world 3974. yeeres was Iesus Christ the blessed and promised seed borne of the undefiled Virgin and Maid Mary at Bethleem in the Land of Jewrie And though he as a very man was wrapped in cloathes and laid in the crib yet appeareth the Angell of the Lord in great clearenesse unto the Shepherds and saith Feare yee not behold I bring you tidings of great joy which shall happen unto all people For this day is borne unto you the Saviour even Christ the Lord in the Citie of David The first newes and tidings of the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ must the Angell bring and give to the intent that it might be the more accepted of all the world All the holy men from the beginning of the world did hitherto long sore after the promised Seed Therefore saith the Angell now that he bringeth them tidings of great joy no doubt to them that were gone dead and past to them also that now lived and to them that were to come afterward The joy is this that Iesus Christ the Saviour is borne even the promised Seed which should save all the world from the power of the Devill cleanse them from sinne and deliver them from damnation Therefore saith the Angell moreover Which shall happen unto all people For unto Abraham it was said In thy seed shall all Nations of the earth be blessed The same saith the Angell is borne in the Citie of David even out of Davids kindred out of the which the Prophets testified that he should be borne which Prophets also for the same cause called him David and the blossome of David And this is now the grace of God that whereas wee poore sinners belonged unto death and were in the Devils bonds hee sent his Sonne to loose and deliver us out of captivitie This is the new Testament For Hieremie also testifieth hereof and saith This is the Testament that I will make I will be their God and they shall be my people I will be mercifull to their unrighteousnesse and sinnes and will thinke upon them no more Hier. 31. This full and perfect forgivenesse is not therefore called the new Testament as though there had beene no remission of sinnes among the old Fathers but because the promise made long before unto the Fathers is now confirmed and renewed and the old figures that represented the same are abrogate Thus the Lord Iesus alone is set forth for the only salvation of all the world so that not only we but all they which before or after his appearance or incarnation beleeved on him were saved And at the birth of Christ there commeth to the foresaid Angell the whole heavenly hoste which praised God and said Glory and praise be unto God in the height and peace upon earth to men a good will And by this they teach us what the dutie thankfulnesse and knowledge of men is or ought to be in this behalfe that God hath done so great good for man Namely how that they ought to praise God to have a sure trust in him and to be friendly and loving one to another And the fulfilling of the Law is love from a pure heart out of a good conscience and of an undissembled or unfained faith 1 Tim. 1. In the fifteenth yeere of the Empire of Tiberius from the beginning of the world 4004. yeeres came the word of the Lord to Iohn the sonne of the Priest Zachary in the wildernesse and he went and preached unto the people of Israel amendment of life and forgivenesse of sinnes in Iesus Christ To whom he bare record that he was the fulfilling of the Law and the Prophets very God and Man the only and ever-living Saviour which with the sacrifice of his own bodie should cleanse the world from sinne yea hee pointed unto him with his finger and said Behold this is the Lambe of God that taketh away the sinne of the world And so perfectly and wholly hangeth hee all salvation only on Christ Iesus that he saith plainly Out of his fulnesse have all we received grace c. Ioh. 1. Item who so beleeveth in the Sonne of God hath everlasting life who so beleeveth not in the Sonne shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth upon him Therefore did he also send all his Disciples from him and commanded them to cleave unto Christ He maketh no mention at all of any ceremonies figures or oblations as necessarie points to salvation but preacheth Christ purely and clearely This is manifest Ioh. 1. and 3. Matth. 3. and Luk. 3. The Lord himselfe also came unto Iohn and was baptised And when hee had received Baptisme the heaven opened and the Holy Ghost appeared in the forme of a Dove and there was a voice heard from heaven saying This is my beloved Sonne in whom I am pacified to the intent that all the world should have witnesse of Christ the true Saviour not only now by the Angels and by Iohn the holiest man of all but also from heaven and of God himselfe and that we might be the bolder to commit our selves wholly unto him When hee had received the testimonie he went into the wildernesse And like as our disease began in Paradise by temptation even so at the temptation in the wildernesse began the Lord our health And like as the Father of us all did eat the forbidden meat so
